Ruck. AS ROSSELLO get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack.

79

Nice breakthrough by Romuald Leriche who gets low and charges. He cannons into Mario Castrilli like a stampeding bull, but Mario Castrilli wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

There are players smashing into this ruck from both sides.. it is a real contest for the ball. Eventually the AS ROSSELLO players gain the upper hand and the ball emerges slowly on their side.

73

Stuart Mitchell is playing heads up rugby, he sees that there is a opportunity to move the ball wide and passes to Octav Marius Robu, he passes to Walter Birenbaum who tries to move the ball on to Donato Maione. But the last A.S. Bronzi defender has made a good decision to come in and put pressure on the passer and the ball falls short.

72

At the ruck, the AS ROSSELLO back rower is burrowing like a demented mole, the ball comes back safely on the AS ROSSELLO side.

67

Stefano Santoro sets off upfield. He easily hands off the weak tackles of Donato Maione, then Duncan Terbrugge. The fullback is in his way, so he offloads to Attilio Intini who is running in support. The pass is badly judged though, and goes behind the man. A lucky escape for AS ROSSELLO there!

66

Oooh! That's not a good kick from Colin Harding, i'm not sure it will make it to the ten meter line..The crowd here at AS ROSSELLO stadium hold their breath..
Stefano Santoro takes the ball just inches over the ten meter mark. Colin Harding got away with that one after all!

Ooooh! That was awesome from Farid Lebrun! He received a wild pass from Kai Fisch but managed to take the ball off his shoelaces and still make a classic scissor move in midfield that put Timo de Bruyn in acres of space.. Timo de Bruyn dots the ball down over the try line and turns, pointing his finger at Farid Lebrun in recognition of that bit of class!

Scrum for A.S. Bronzi. It's a good feed, but AS ROSSELLO put in a mighty shove. They're pushing A.S. Bronzi off the ball. They've taken one against the head. Fabulous work by the AS ROSSELLO front row!

Colin Harding signals to his forwards to stay behind the ball and sends a hanging kick in their direction. Both Osvaldo Manzella and Donato Maione jump for the catch, but both players have misjudged the flight of the ball and it sails over their heads. Donato Maione is the first to react, scooping up the loose ball on the first bounce.

Try time ! A beautiful phase of play from AS ROSSELLO. The ball goes from Scott Patterson to Duncan Terbrugge and on to Silviano Morini, who is running in support. There is nothing to stop him as he crashes over the line with a big smile on his face !

42

Beautiful phase for AS ROSSELLO! Romuald Leriche starts the move off with a quick pass to Kai Fisch. There are dummy runners everywhere, and A.S. Bronzi look lost out there. Kai Fisch puts in a long pass to Silviano Morini who takes the ball on for 10 metres before passing back inside to Stuart Mitchell and at last Scott Patterson. He's stopped but the ball isn't lost, giving a new phase for AS ROSSELLO to come.

41

Colin Harding takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over AS ROSSELLO stadium. Romuald Leriche positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Max Weiner. Good hands from the AS ROSSELLO player there.

A.S. Bronzi will need to close the gap if they want to take anything from this game.

Superb work there by forwards and backs alike! Silviano Morini sends the ball to Scott Patterson who carries it on before passing on to Timo de Bruyn. He spots that he has an overlap outside, draws in a defender and then passes to Marc Minteoan. There's nobody between him and the try line, and he sprints in for a well-worked try.

It's a scrum to AS ROSSELLO. It's wheeling around as the ball is fed in, but AS ROSSELLO still win the ball.

27

Stefano Santoro sets off upfield. He easily hands off the weak tackles of Donato Maione, then Duncan Terbrugge. The fullback is in his way, so he offloads to Kris Howarth who is running in support. The pass is badly judged though, and goes behind the man. A lucky escape for AS ROSSELLO there!

A.S. Bronzi have stolen AS ROSSELLO's lineout ball! Bogdan Stegariu mistimed his jump, and Mario Castrilli got his hands to it first. Good work by A.S. Bronzi at that lineout!

21

Superb vision from Mario Castrilli putting his center through the gap. Tito Bongiovanni accelerates trying to set up a switch with Sandro Marín, but a defender tried to intercept and ended up knocking on. Scrum to A.S. Bronzi.

Turnover. A.S. Bronzi now has possession and the backs are ready for a new attack.

AS ROSSELLO can't seem to get their act together as Marc Minteoan drops Donato Maione's pass before their attack even has a chance to get going.

Beautiful team try for AS ROSSELLO! Kai Fisch starts the move off with a quick pass to Marc Minteoan. There are dummy runners everywhere, and A.S. Bronzi look lost out there. Marc Minteoan puts in a long pass to Scott Patterson who takes the ball on for 10 metres before passing back inside to Silviano Morini who sprints for the line, diving over for a very satisfying 5 points. The bench are on their feet. Everyone enjoyed that try, except for A.S. Bronzi of course!

It looks like A.S. Bronzi lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball.

Stefano Santoro sets off running with the ball in both hands. He drops his shoulder and powers through the tackle of Donato Maione before sending the ball across to the flanker Mario Castrilli. He makes a dummy pass to his left before throwing the ball right to Max Weiner, but the dummy seemed to fool his own player just as much as it fooled the opposition! Max Weiner clearly wasn't expecting the pass and knocks on.
